Chapter 156 (1/2)
The whole city of Casablanca is under siege to search for the ”gentlemen's Union”, which has not gained much in the end. When they found the hiding place where the German intelligence personnel were, the ”gentlemen's Union” and the Hydra force had all left, and even the local German intelligence personnel had all been evacuated.
It's not that the allies are too wasteful, it's Casablanca's unique limitations. Morocco itself is a colony, and its residents are basically Arabs who believe in Christianity. The residents in the city have no good feelings for both sides of the world war. Both the allies and the Germans were enemies in their eyes.
In addition to the previous shelling, the local residents were even more uncooperative with the allies, and even there were many civil military violent confrontations in the city, making the whole city of Casablanca full of loopholes. Under the leadership and camouflage of the intelligence personnel, skorzny and others were very smooth, and soon withdrew to the outskirts of the city.
Here, German intelligence officers will continue to hide until night, and then, with the research materials of ”super warrior program” and Baron Wittenberg, who degenerated into vampire bats, will be sent back to Berlin by a U-boat specially designed to pick them up. And scholzny and Baron stark will lead the alliance of gentlemen and the Hydra to intercept that crucial allied column.
Morocco has a long and narrow territory, more than 1700 kilometers of coastline, and complex topography. In the middle and North are the steep Atlas Mountains, in the East and South are the upper plateaus and the pre Saharan plateaus, and only in the northwest coastal area are the long, narrow, low and warm plains.
Morocco's population and essence are concentrated on the western coast, of which Casablanca is the largest city in the country. At present, Morocco is still a Spanish colony, and Rabat is its substantive political center.
Morocco has a railway close to the west coast, from elgadida in the south to the port of hueda at the eastern end of the Strait of Gibraltar. At present, the port of hueda is under the jurisdiction of the Allied forces. The important persons and goods transported by the military train will be sent to Portugal through the channel, and then to England.
The population composition of port hurda is complex, including * * *, Jews and Hindus. Although it belongs to Africa geographically and was once ruled by * * *, since the Portuguese King John I occupied hurda in the early 15th century, he has been committed to eliminating the influence of * * * in order to spread Christianity.
Even if Portugal ceded hueda to Spain in the 17th century, this religious policy has not changed. Therefore, in terms of culture, port of hueda is totally different from the city of Casablanca and can be regarded as part of Andalucia. In fact, even the local residents of the port of hueda never see themselves as Moroccans, but as part of Spain.
The local residents of port hueda abhor the tyrannical Spanish dictatorship, regard the allies as liberators, and the military civilian relationship is acceptable. If the troops are allowed to arrive at port hurda, the ”gentlemen's Union” can never do anything as it does in Casablanca. If they stay in the city for half a day, they may be pulled out by the allies.
As for the sea, the narrow strait of Gibraltar and the bay of Biscay are different from the vast Atlantic Ocean. There are English fleets resting in the southwest port of France everywhere. There is no chance for German submarines to attack.
If they want to attack the train, they have to start on the way. Scholzny and Baron stark chose this place in the small city of ganitra, not far from Rabat, in central Morocco.
The western coast of Morocco is a long, narrow and warm plain, which is also the reason for the prosperity of Casablanca and Rabat. Ganitra is a small fishing port. Its terrain is as complex as that of ordinary coastal cities. It is located in the upper reaches of the SEB River Estuary, with its back against the mountains with folded terrain. The dangerous gorge railway bridge that scholzny had asked Mrs. Monica to simulate was just outside gannetta.
Of course, the most important thing for the ”gentlemen's Union” to attack the ranks is not the terrain, but that they should first catch up with the ranks. It's also wrong to say that the Allied raids in Casablanca did not produce any results. At least they delayed the pace of the ”gentlemen's alliance” and left the Germans behind for several hours.
In Morocco, where there is no Mercedes Benz and no airplane, it is not easy for the ”gentlemen's Union” to catch up with a train that has already started for several hours. Fortunately, the Hydra army solved this problem for them.
”Horses? Colonel, are you going to use these horses to catch up with the train? ” Captain bock looked at skotzny strangely.
During the Second World War, the speed of trains was generally not fast. The design maximum speed of ordinary steam trains was not more than 100 kilometers per hour, and they usually operated at a maximum speed of 60-80 kilometers per hour. The best horse can hardly run more than 80 kilometers per hour. In other words, even if the horse runs faster than the train, it is limited. Moreover, at this speed, the horse can not run more than a few kilometers.
”Ha ha, Captain Bock, don't look down on these horses. They take the biochemical medicine specially made by the Hydra army, and can run for six hours at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour!” Baron stark came from afar with his cane, accompanied by the red skull.
”Our intelligence personnel have inquired that the Allied lines belong to armored trains, which are slower than ordinary steam trains. We can catch up with them before night!” Skorzny patted the neck of the horse next to him and joked, ”it's just that we're going to suffer a little bit!””Then I have no doubt. Let's start early!” ”If we can kill Albert Einstein, the chief scientist of the Allied unconventional forces, then even if we can't kill the leaders of the three countries this time, Herakles will have a complete success,” bock said excitedly
”Even if Germany cannot defeat the whole world, it will end the war with dignity!” Skorzny's men looked at each other and all saw encouraging light of hope in the eyes of their colleagues.
